This was my second visit to the Aigas Field Centre. I attended Aigas Wildlife in June 2015, and although the weather wasn't the best I had a wonderful week and fell in love with the location and people. As a keen photographer I returned in July 2016 to participate in the Photography Masterclass with Scottish nature photographer Laurie Campbell. The Field Centre itself is gorgeous. Guests stay in log cabins, all with ensuite shower (some with baths), each cabin also has a communal living area. They are pretty basic, but warm and very comfortable and to be honest, you won't spend a whole lot of time there! Meals are served in the main house, in the vaulted dining room. The moto is "nothing's too much trouble" and Lady Lucy Lister-Kaye will amend the menus to suit any diet. The food was delicious. Porridge for breakfast, lunch generally in the field, afternoon tea and a three course dinner. The grounds include a wonderful small loch in which live a few beavers (not easy to see though), there are pine martens, local ospreys, badgers, birds and insects. Guests can spend time in the Campbell Hide watching the pine martens or in the beaver hide which overlooks the loch so there's the chance to see any of the animals who use it. I'd highly recommend rising early to experience the sunrise over the loch - it's stunning. All trips are conducted in comfortable minibuses with a knowledgeable ranger armed with a scope on hand to point out significant wildlife and much more. On both my visits we went to a number of gorgeous local glens, and on Aigas Wildlife there's a visit to the West Coast and to the Cromarty for the Ecoventures dolphin trip (also highly recommended). For those interested in photographing wildlife, the masterclass was inspiring. Laurie Campbell is a great teacher, and leads by example - he never stops looking for the perfect photograph. We had the chance to photograph mountain hares, red deer, pine martens, dolphins, otters, common toads, insects and fauna. It was a small group so there was plenty of one-to-one time. In summary it is a superb way to spend a week - you'll learn loads from the rangers, meet some lovely people and experience the most beautiful scenery.

We spent a Wildlife week at Aigas. We could not have wished for a better week. Much of the credit for this goes to the staff. The Rangers who took us out each day were all personable and knowledgeable and added greatly to the experience of seeing and understanding the wildlife and natural environment. Such amazing young talent. The catering and house staff were ever attentive and friendly. Nothing ever seemed too much for them. Accommodation was comfortable and clean. Meals and catering generally was outstanding. Such a good selection of single malts too!

Aigas provides unique wildlife experiences for all ages in a stunning setting. Away from it all, there are pine martens, red squirrels, badgers, otters and beavers. Ospreys feed on the Loch, golden eagles soar overhead and and crested tits frequent the bird feeders. The staff are knowledgeable and ever so keen to share their passion for the wildlife with the guests. You feel more like a member of the Aigas family than a guest, though. There is so much to do and to see on site and in the local area. You will not want to leave this beautiful wildlife paradise!
